Buying a Leather Couch

The style of your sofa could have an impact on its comfort and durability. Furniture makers who use dowels and strong joints instead of staples will produce more durable pieces.

A real leather couch should have natural hide markings and a rough appearance. These are signs that the leather is genuine.

Durability

Durability is an important factor to think about when purchasing a new sofa. Leather furniture is generally more durable than sofas made of fabric, and can withstand regular wear and tear without sliding. It also resists staining and spills, making it easy to clean.

The quality and type of leather that is used will determine the long-term durability of a sofa made of leather. Genuine leather full-grain will last longest. Currier's offers only the finest 100 top grain leather furniture that has been designed to last for decades with proper care. Fake or bonded furniture made of leather scraps glued to a bonding material, won't last as long.

The frequency with which a sofa is used, and whether it is set in a sunny or shaded location can affect its life span. The fire-proofness of the sofa's material is another factor to consider because synthetic fabrics tend to burn faster than leather.

Fabrics might need to be treated with special anti-fire substances, whereas leather couches are naturally fire-proof. The size of the cushions on a sofa will also impact its life span. Thicker cushions are more likely to hold their shape and support while those with less support can become lumpy and saggy over time.

A quality fabric couch can last for years, but how long it lasts is contingent on the quality of the fabric and the amount of maintenance. Regular vacuuming can prevent dust allergens and mites from the fibers. Prompt treatment of any spills or stains can prevent the stain from seeping into the fabric and leaving a lasting mark. Resolving any scratches on the sofa as quickly as they occur can also help prevent them from deepening over time.

Comfort

The type of padding and cushioning on a couch plays an important part in the way it feels. This includes the number and type of layers as well as how much filling is used. In general, a couch with a lot of layers is more comfortable than a sofa with just a few layers, or none. The number of coils that make up a sofa's springs can also influence how comfortable it is to sit on.

Try various brands and models to make sure your leather sofa is comfortable. Take a seat on each couch for several minutes, and take note of how you feel sitting in different positions, as well as how the seat and back help you to maintain your posture. Pay attention to how each couch feels and the way it breathes.

Fabric sofas are soft and comfortable however, they aren't as durable as leather. No matter if you opt for polyester, cotton or another fabric, make sure the sofa has quality construction and padding to prevent it from becoming stiff or stiff over time. The amount of filling also impacts how comfortable the sofa feels. A high-density foam or a spring system that is hand-tied with an 8-way hand tied coil suspension are both great options for leather sofas.

Beware of plywood frames made by pressing layers of wood together. Plywood might be cheaper than solid hardwood, but it won't last as well.
